Synopsis

A group of anthropomorphized countries—an energetic Northern Italy fond of pasta, a steady Germany, and a reserved Japan—navigate a series of historical episodes from the lead-up to and the course of the Second World War. The series dramatizes and satirizes diplomatic strains and military confrontations, including the fraught dealings between Hungary and Prussia, scenes from the War of Austrian Succession, Lithuania’s formative period, and the Invasion of Poland. Through a blend of comic misadventure and historical tension, these national personifications confront shifting alliances, cultural differences, and the outbreak of war, depicting how they attempt to manage escalating conflicts without revealing outcomes or spoiling key plot developments.
